Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed
  • 1 berry-flavored green tea bag
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries, slightly crushed

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, gently cook the strawberries over low heat until they begin to soften and break apart, stirring occasionally. This should take around 15 minutes.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the cooked strawberries to cool. Then, using an immersion blender, puree the strawberries until smooth.
  3. Chill the strawberry puree in the refrigerator until it's ready to be served.
  4. Steep the berry-flavored green tea bag in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Once steeped, remove the tea bag.
  5. Combine the strawberry puree, coconut milk, and simple syrup with the steeped green tea, stirring until well mixed.
  6. Fill a glass with ice cubes, then pour the strawberry coconut mixture over the ice.
  7. Garnish the drink with the crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
